About Edward Hayter

Our parents George and Annabel, bought this house for the family in 1993 to mark their 25th Wedding Anniversary. It was extended in 2007 to accommodate our growing family and to enable us to all be there together. We now run the house and still use it a lot ourselves.

Why Edward Hayter chose Highland

Inchnafearna (transl. 'Field of Alders') is a wonderfully comfortable house and is very well appointed in all respects. Warm and cosy, with comfortable beds all with heated under-blankets. A kitchen to die for. Many of our guests say that the house is better kitted out than their own homes. There is a one acre well tended and colourful garden, looked after by our gardener, Howard. On summer days it is a joy to sit on the terrace (a sun trap facing South West) and watch the buzzards soaring into the sky and listen to the sound of the waterfall and the small burn which runs past the back of the house. Whatever the weather, you can be assured of a return to a warm welcome at Inchnafearna. We look forward to welcoming you to Inchnafearna and know you'll love it as much as we do.

Accommodation and facilities for this holiday house in Highland in Scotland

A wonderfully comfortable and relaxing house in a superb position.

We have just visited Inchnafearna and had the most wonderful week in this very comfortable and relaxing house. There were eight of us and the house easily accomdates this number with most rooms having their own ensuite bathrooms. The house is above a beautiful remote beach and we loved the large living area and kitchen with its spectacular views. Every possible gadget and piece of equipment has been provided and all the booking arrangements and information were very clear. It is in the most superb area with unique scenery and wildlife and all in all we had an amazing week (with plenty of sunshine too!)

Great location, well equipped, recommended

Just as described - well equipped, comfortable and clean. Very handy for the beach, great views. Suited our party of 14 (including 4 kids) very well. Minor problem with hot water was sorted, although not quite as quickly as it could have been. Would recommend it at any time of year for a secluded getaway.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we were at the mercy of Scottish Hydro but we note your comment about the hot water problem and we would make sure that we get any minor issues sorted out more quickly if necessary in the future. We want all our guests to enjoy a hassle-free holiday!

Tranquil, spacious and well equipped holiday home

We have had two fantastic breaks with friends at this house and would return again and again if we could! The house is spacious and sits in a tranquil setting just above the beach. It is exceptionally comfortable and warm, beautifully decorated and has a very well equipped kitchen. The house has a gorgeous view of Clashnessie Bay and the sandy beach is only a couple of minutes' walk away - our children spent many happy afternoons building sandcastles and playing games there. We also enjoyed all that the surrounding area had to offer including fabulous moorland walks, trips to the waterfall, fishing expeditions and even a boat trip to see the seals. We would highly recommend the house for families as it is the perfect base for a holiday.

Wonderful house in a beautiful location

We enjoyed a wonderful few days at Inchnafearna. The house is perfect with everything you could need and more. The views are breath-taking and a beach with golden sand is only a short walk from the door. The beds were so comfortable with luxurious cotton bedding and the layout of the house means it suits several families staying together. We would recommend this house to friends and family - a perfect get-away for those looking for an idyllic coastal holiday away from the crowds.
